GYP: Energy is a Weapon

Join us for a conversation with energy expert Sean Kimiagar as he explores the growing role energy plays in the world’s most consequential geopolitical conflicts. We will examine how governments use oil and gas as leverage to apply pressure, shift alliances, and reshape the global economy, often with far-reaching consequences for ordinary people.
 
From Iran and the Strait of Hormuz to Venezuela, from Russia’s pipeline politics to Cuba’s ongoing energy crisis, Sean connects four global stories that may appear separate but are part of one interconnected system of power and consequence.
